You can tell by the spark in his eyes when he talks about the '54, he's totally in love with this thing. That already makes him a winner. No matter what people think of him or his music or whatever - the fact that he's kept the same excitement for his Fenders and for playing the way he does just makes him a winner at life. It's so hard to stay spirited and passionate in life. Nobody can do it. Some people can.

Haters are always so hysterical. Been with YJM since nearly his start. While I cannot really listen to most of his music for more than 20-30minutes at a time, there is no denying that he is the finest practioner of his particular brand of music ever. No shortage of Yngwie clones through the decades, yet none of them are as complete a player as YJM. Not just his speed, but his vibrato, his pitch perfect intonation, his sheer precision is unrivalled in this genre. He is the finest in the world at what he does - few can legitimately make that claim. Highly recommend YJM's recent Rick Beato interview. YJM has had reputational issues over the years, but in that interview he is as candid and open as he has ever been.

The older I get, the more I resonate with YJM for his accomplishments. The dude is a legend! People hate on him so much out of jealousy and it's uncalled for.

Dude is so happy about guitars, it's amazing.

He looks healthier than ever! I'm so happy for him.

I met and still have the guitar pick Yngwie gave me after a gig in 85. I met him and Jens that night. Both took the time to spend time with the half a dozen of us that hung around at 2 in the morning. A middle of the summer gig that the walls of the club sweated. Yngwie poured Heineken on us that were down in front. They threw a towel over Jen's head, and he played flawlessly blinded. We stood there dumbfounded by what we saw and heard. One hell of a night I will never forget. "Rising Force" is an album that shaped my own playing back then and is just as powerful today as it was then. He is my "Hendrix" of my generation.

Yngwie, my man. Never change. 🔥🔥🔥

We love you Yngwie ....Ultimate strat Hero ....up there with Jimi, Ritchie, SRV, J.Beck, Eric Johnson and Clapton!

So that's how Govan got that shred to high fret bending move. Yngwie started it back then with Far Beyond The Sun. Amazing inspiration for everyone, Mr. Malmsteen.

Yngwie is one of the last true rock stars livin and breathin. We all fell in love with guitar because of people like him. Respect.

Coolest guy on planet earth. This man just breathes Rock and Roll What a legend.

Dude still looks amazing

All I can say is the Yngwie Fender "scalloped" Strat, is the BEST Stratocaster in my collection.👌 It's so amazing to play, you can feel how Yngwie feels with it, the Maple neck and scalloped fretboard is like no other.🤘 I could not ask for more. If there's only one suggestion or request I would like to add is, please add another Fret to make it 22, because sometimes I can't use it on other songs with a solo reaching for 22 frets. (Yeah, bending is great, but that one fret is better.)🔥 *YNGWIE MALMSTEEN* is the Best and my favorite guitarist EVER.🎸

@@TavisAllen Hope you can have one in the future, that would be great mate. I encourage you to own or buy a Yngwie Strat. I also love classical guitar and acoustics, and have collected different electric and acoustic guitars. (16 electric, 2 acoustics). Among them, the Yngwie Strat feels uniquely different in a good way all because of the scalloped frets. I can't express it with words, but it really feels good to play, even at high action which is 2.5mm at 12th fret (I prefer ALL my guitars to be set-up at very low action - 1mm). Fender YJM sig is the only exception., so try it, you will surely love it.👌Have a nice day.🙂

There is some amazing concert footage of Yngwie Malmsteen with the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. It strikes me that Yngwie as a musician is on the same level as great classical musicians, but the Fender Stratocaster looks like it belongs in that setting too. The Stratocaster looks fantastic in that formal setting, and Yngwie makes the sound of the guitar blend in like it always belonged in that context. I wonder what Leo would have thought to see and hear his instruments being played with a symphony orchestra?

Kind of dope that all his guitars are so similar. Kind of like his sound, he found what he liked and hasn't worried about switching it up.

Yngwie Malmsteen's SOLD OUT Show is in Tokyo today got my tickets 🎸⭐

Unbelievable slay from a true guitar god!

He may sometimes come off eccentric but no one can discount how much influence he had on 90's metal scene. Yngwie is a world treasure.

I have always liked Malmsteen; from the first time I heard him in the 80s until the present. He is an absolute guitar genius. He plays with passion, and his music / style of music has no equal. Say what you want about his personality it doesn’t matter, what does matter is that the man can play his guitar. He has weathered the storm in a business that has seen a lot of professional guitar greats for what ever reason come and go. He is still here, and he is still inspiring future guitarist with his talent and music.

Respect for including the Seymore Duncan mention

The best player in the world to me. You either get it or you don't! Thank you Yngwie, you literally changed me life

Still amuses me after 40 years listening him for the first time. Music Legend.

Hello Fender, got my Yngwie concert ticket for 6th July here. :P Hopefully some day maybe Yngwie Signature Fender....... :D

Legend! He deserves all the respect for reinventing guitar and he plays with such intonation and feel that is rare among shred guitarists. 🎸🎶

Yngwie changed the game. He was the guitar god during his era. I'm sceptical of his playing these days and the playing/writing on the last few albums, but nothing can take away from what he achieved in his early career. I appriciate him as much as I do Paganini, Mozart, 2pac, Billy Strings, Randy Rhoads. Whoever. Ego or not. I don't care. He is amazing, I'd like to see him play live some day.

You are the best...mister Ingvie.

Not my favourite genre of music by any stretch, but I appreciate the virtuosity. What I really do love in this video, is Yngwie’s absolute geek-out and love of Strats

The best guitar player on earth.

The passion and knowledge Yngwie has for Strats is brilliant 👏🏼

Gotta love how Yngwie can make the string vibrato without bending it at all at 0:30 what a God

I love you Yngwie. You make us so proud being Swedish. As my younger brother said at one point when I took him to a festival where you were playing: ”it can’t be fun playing lead guitar after Yngwie, right?” No, no fun at all brother, no fun at all..
